Simply delicious..

                                                     
                 "There is no love sincerer than the love of food."
                                                    ~ George Bernard Shaw


One of the greatest pleasures in life is a good food. No wonder that gluttony is one of seven deadly sins. Food is more than something that exist only to keep us alive. It's an art and chefs in world most famous restaurants are considered artists. Food allows us live the indescribable number of different tastes and flavours. It enriches our everyday life. Some food is even considered aphrodisiac. History is rife with the human pursuit of aphrodisiacs in many forms. Scientific tests have proven that some aromas can cause a greater effect on the body than the actual ingestion of foods. Some common foods of love used through the ages are: vanilla, figs, ginseng, almonds, Puffer fish, oysters, radish and truffles. However, good food can make your day better anytime. So if you need some stimulation, don't hesitate and go take dinner to some fine restaurant in your city.

My dream apartment

                                       

My dream apartment should be located in some big European city like for example Paris, London, Berlin, etc. because I really enjoy the opportunities which it offers (like cultural events, job and schooling opportunities, wide choice of shops,.. ). This apartment doesn't have to be big, but it really would be some private place only for myself. I would have there some big library, big comfy bed and armchairs where I would read books all the time; small sweet bathroom with candles all over to spend cold winter evenings in tub filled with hot water reading; nice sunny kitchen where I would read newspaper every morning drinking coffee. 

For me the most important thing is to have some time which I can spend only on my own. So this apartment would be some kind of my personal fort against the outside world. I really look forward to having one.

Art of Books.

"Books are a uniquely portable magic." ~Stephen King

Literature is one of the many great arts but it's my personal number one. Genius consists of fact  that through writing it's possible to express everything: feelings, thoughts, worries, etc.
What I appreciate the most is my personal feeling of escape. When I'm reading a book I find myself in totally another world. I instantly forget all my problems and banality of this (for me personally) boring world we live in.
What inspire me a lot about books is of course their authors who are able to express everything so beautifully only through the words. I really admire a lot of them for that. Many of the created a whole new world with its own history, languages, species, etc. (for example J.R.R. Tolkien)

The sad fact is that many people in general don't read books at all. I met many who didn't read even one entire book during their whole life! For me it was really shocking information. Some of them literally hate reading not only of books but also of the magazines, newspaper, etc.
Well, I guess I'll never really understand them..
As Mark Twain says: "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."



But anyways, here are some covers of my favorite books:

Fashion on Polyvore.

Hello, I would like to present you one of my few hobbies and it is obviously fashion and making fashion sets on Polyvore site.  'Cause I think it's creative way to expess yourself and also to relax. 
I started to create sets there about two years ago. There are some time periods when I'm creating them every day but also the periods when I don't create even one set for few months. It depends on how I feel and how much time I have to do things I like. But every time I return and I start creating sets all over again, I join the contest, etc. because it's really good way how to spend your time.

                         

Here's link to my polyvore web:
